African Catfish are large freshwater fish native to the rivers and lakes of Africa. Known for their distinct whisker-like barbels, these catfish are a popular choice in various cuisines, especially in West African dishes, where they are often grilled, smoked, or used in soups. Rich in protein and essential nutrients, African Catfish are a healthy option, providing omega-3 fatty acids that support heart health. Low in calories and high in vitamins, they make for a nutritious meal. However, as with all fish, it's important to source them sustainably to ensure their populations thrive for future generations.
